<p>I'm new to zine making but just finished two zines with a limited run of 30 each. They are photo zines and I'm pretty proud of them! I was wondering what you guys do about friends asking for copies of limited zines. While I'm not <em>concerned</em> with selling them, it would be nice to sell them and have new people exposed to my work. I may be over thinking this. What do you do when friends ask for a copy of your zine?</p>

I was wondering if anyone in the Los Angeles area would be interested in started a monthly or bi-monthly zinester meetup? I work at a really rad studio called The Urban Craft Center and would like to utilize the space for zinemakers to get together; share trade and work on stuff. It costs 6 bucks to use the space for an hour and there is a crazy amount of equipment and free wi-fi you can use while you are here. It is located on the westside in Santa Monica. We might even be able to start a zine…

We might even be able to start a zine library here to collect and trade. Would anyone out here be interested even if you had to drop 6 bucks for an hour to meet????? I really want the L.A zine community to have a space to go!<br />

Rhea What is the consensus on photocopying zines?tag:wemakezines.ning.com,2008-10-03:2288844:Topic:131162008-10-03T04:47:39.240Zlofipihttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/lofipi
<b>What is the consensus on photocopying a zine you really loved for a friend?</b><br />
<br />
I've occasionally wanted to do this but have stopped short every time.<br />
The conditions I envisage are that:<br />
<br />
(a) the zine is sold out;<br />
(b) the zine is out of print;<br />
(c) the zine maker's contact details net no response when you contact them re availability or for permission;<br />
(d) it's a zine you don't want to give away <i>because</i> it's so good;<br />
(e) a zine you're nervous about lending out in case it doesn't make…

(e) a zine you're nervous about lending out in case it doesn't make it back to you (which can happen for a whole host of reasons; your friend is not greedy or sly!);<br />
(f) you do not charge your friend (or anyone) for copying it for them.<br />
<br />
What's your stance on the topic? Are there variables I've omitted that make any difference? Does copyright come into it? Is there an unspoken consensus on this that I've never unearthed in 20+ years of reading zines?!<br />
<br />
I'm really curious to hear what people think about this.<br />
